Jessica Sprague's Holidays in Hand

Well after doing Stories in Hand last year and now looking back as I did it with my Mum who is now suffering from dimentia feel it was a great thing to do the memories we wrote down and the pictures we tied into those memories so that I could scrap them together are just so memorable.

So with this in mind I decided to sign up this year to Jessica's Holidays in hand. We have now had three days promts but I have been very busy with my mum as she is moving nearer to me so I can care for her better. So today I write my goals and values.......

My goals this year are to :

Have a nice quiet Christmas just the immediate family (me and hubby and the kids) without having to worry about all the rest of our family and their misunderstandings.

To have a really traditional Christmas with fun games and snow !!! (if possible)

To not be stressed out by all the money and material things that Christmas involves.

To remember the true meaning of Christmas.

I also want to value the things that Christmas means like family and caring and worship , we have had some difficult times this year with health and wealth and happiness of the family myself included and we hope that next year brings better times. I worry how many more we will have with my Mum and feel that we shoudl treasure each year more and more.

I would so much like to be more organised and hope that Jessica can help to at least help my Christmas to be more organised.

I am busy making at the moment and will post loads on the site soon that I am making for the school and Church Christmas fair on the 28th November so please do watch this space.
